Database Limitations - Honda 2008 Ridgeline Navigation Manual

Database Limitations

You will find that some points of
interest (POI) may be missing when you
search the database. This can be caused
if at the time the database was gathered,
the name was misspelled, the place was
improperly categorized, or the POI
change is not yet in the database. This
means you may not find places listed
that you know exist. This is also true for
police agencies and hospitals. In
outlying areas, facilities listed may not
be the closest. Always check with local
information sources if you need law
enforcement or hospital services.
Every effort has been made to verify
that the system's database was accurate
at the time it was created. However,
businesses do fail or move to new
locations, and new businesses start in
the old locations. For this reason, you
may occasionally find "inaccurate"
information when you select and drive
to a point of interest (for example, a
restaurant is now a jewelry store). The
number of these inaccuracies increases
the longer you go without an update.
98 Navigation System
The digitized map database reflects
conditions as they existed at various
points in time before production.
Accordingly, your DVD may contain
inaccurate or incomplete data or
information due to the passage of time,
road construction, changing conditions,
or other causes. Due to on-going
software and database improvements,
navigation disc versions may change in
the middle of a production year. The
version shipped with your vehicle was
the most recent available at the time of
production, and is considered standard
equipment for that vehicle. There is no
free program to retrofit early production
vehicles with the latest disc.
In addition, this database does not
include, analyze, process, consider, or
reflect any of the following categories
of information:
• Neighborhood quality or safety
• Population density
• Availability or proximity of law
enforcement
• Emergency, rescue, medical, or other
assistance
• Construction work, zones, or hazards
• Road and lane closures
• Legal restrictions (such as vehicular
type, weight, load, height, and speed
restrictions)
• Road slope or grade
• Bridge height, width, weight, or other
limits
• Road, traffic or traffic facilities
safety, or conditions
• Weather conditions
• Special events
• Pavement characteristics or conditions
